The size of a sika deer's antler is related to genes. It does not necessarily mean that the older the deer, the bigger the antler. Generally, sika deer males begin to grow antler at the age of 1 year. Normally, an adult sika deer can cut about 4 kilograms and two strips of fresh velvet antler in the first crop, and about 2 kilograms and two strips of fresh antler in the second crop. Based on the price of fresh deer antler in 2020, it will probably sell for five to six thousand. Of course, some sika deer with relatively good yields can cut more than 6 pounds of second bars in their first crop when they are around 4 years old.
